SONiC decouples the network operating system from the underlying switching hardware, providing a common software foundation across multiple hardware platforms. Its database centric, micro-services architecture uses containerized services to manage configuration, operational state, routing, and hardware programming. This book explores the architecture and operational behavior of SONiC through the step-by-step configuration of a BGP EVPN data center fabric. It combines architectural explanations with practical configurations, database analysis, and lab-tested examples to show how SONiC builds and operates a modern data center network.
Doing Cloud is easy. Doing it right is hard. The difficulty appears to be a problem of choice, but behind every Cloud success or failure story, there's always just one reason - cost. This book offers a framework, rooted in understanding Cloud's nature, for applying that understanding to the many shapes cost takes.
Service Provider Networks in many ways are unique networks. Many services might be serving millions of customers, so there might be many paths between different parts of the network as you will see in the book. There are many different types of Service Providers but there is very little information about some of them.
